This classic shows well but does exhibit some issues of note. The exterior finish is fair with some minor imperfections noted. The refinishing work is decent but not show quality. There is body filler that is present but it doesn't look excessive. The wipers are worn and should be replaced. The body seals around the windows are showing signs of age and wear. This includes the doors, windows and other miscellaneous body seals. There are minor misc. scratches around the vehicle. Normal for mileage and most too small to see in photos. The vehicle shows minor miscellaneous dings around the body. Several non broken paint dents on the roof. Tail gate has 1 broken paint dent in the upper left hand corner, see pics. The paint shows some wear and tear that is consistent with age and mileage. The underside shows surface rust, I did not see any visible areas that were rotted or structurally compromised. The headlights are worn and foggy due to oxidation. Rear right tail light is cracked- see pics Light Surface rust on the bumpers. The side moldings on both sides show minor nicks and chips. I checked the vehicle with a magnet and found it to stick all around but was weaker in the lower panels. Not excessive. The roof has light filler. The paint on the hood is showing oxidation. The chrome is wearing due to age.
The interior looks complete but there are a few items to mention. There is light wear to the seats. Normal for mileage. The antenna is missing. The inner door panels show wear consistent with mileage. The interior trim shows normal wear consistent with age and mileage. The A/C is not blowing as cold as it should. More diagnosis is needed. The carpet shows normal wear consistent with age and mileage. The accessories are functional.
I found no issues on the test drive, but the check engine light is on and the engine oil is dirty and should be changed. The engine had plenty of power and there were no misfires or smoking. The transmission worked as designed. The steering was responsive and the suspension was firm and the vehicle handled well. There were no abnormal vibrations or odd noises. The brakes were firm with no pulsation felt. There were no leaks found to the underside of the vehicle. See below and pictures for more info.
